the heavy armour barbarian is a fun build which is near on unkillable in melee and most of it comes online in act 1 but personally i wouldn't put a tav in melee with honor mode because he/ she should be your party face
Dual-Crossbow Bard works well in early game but the power curve slides against it after level 6 and by level 10 is the weakest range damage where as the Gloomstalker rules damage after around level 5
if you drop the Paladin for a Wizard and change Light Cleric to tempus or war after act 2 then you party will be much better able to handle act 3... assuming you keep playing all the way to the end game
